We went to a few places in WEM when I was first trying to decide what I wanted. Sposabella was a waste of time and I was annoyed in about 5 minutes. They were rude, unhelpful and too interested in gossiping than helping us at all. My MOH had to keep bringing me stuff because the girl kept wandering away.

Bridal Debut was really helpful but in the end, I couldnt decide what I wanted in time to order it so I had my dress made on ebay instead for a fraction of the price

I think I'm going to have to try Novelle Bridal! Has anyone found that a particular place is cheaper than others?

Novelle i thought had very good prices considering they were a small store ithought they might be more money but nope everything was good prices and they have a lil sales rack too! i found dress i almost baught for 600

I am from just outside of Edmonton. I got my dress at Bridal Debut in Sherwood park and they were so helpful. I paid about 1000 for my maggie. I found it for 100 cheaper in calgary but that would be a huge pain to drive back and forth. I haven't had my dress fitting yet and my wedding is in May, but i have been in Germany for the last 7 months. I can't wait to be home to try on my dress, and i hope i still like it :S

Thanks for the tips ladies! Has anyone gone dress shopping on their own? I went alone the first time, FI and I are seriously considering eloping and I want to keep it a secret from others until we return. Did you find you had a lot of opinions from others that helped you make the best decision?

hey another edmonton bride to be! I also didn't like the service (or lack of service) i got when i went to sposabella. i found my dress for only $895 at ethos bridal. they were super friendly there. as for dress shopping - i went with my mom and no one else i just thought it would be a nice thing to do with just my mom and I. i also heard of another site called jenniferscottbridal.com and apparently the dresses on that site are less than $455 cdn!
